Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous. Employ trained person-
nel using correct tools and equipment.
▲ When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension hose
long enough for you to stand to one side–not in front of or
over tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
▲ When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-handling
equipment adequate for weight involved.
Use Safety Lights and Devices
Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can create
a hazard when driven on public roads. They are difficult
to see, especially at night.
▲ Use flashing warning lights and turn signals whenever driv-
ing on public roads.
▲ Use lights and devices provided with implement.
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for implement is 30 kph.
Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sudden
braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.
▲ Do not exceed 30 kph or 20 mph. Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and stop-
ping. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
▲ Comply with national, regional and local laws.
▲ Do not tow an implement or nurse tank that weighs more
than 1.5 times the weight of towing vehicle.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark Discovator in case of
breakdown on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions
when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under
“DVN Specifications and Capacities” on page 62.
▲ Reduce speed on rough roads.
▲ Do not fold or unfold the Discovator while the tractor is
moving.
Shutdown and Storage
▲ Lower Discovator, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and
remove the key.
▲ Secure Discovator using parking jack provided.
▲ Detach and store Discovator in an area where children nor-
mally do not play.
